Still plotting...

Last Saturday saw an enthusiastic crew descend on our two newest plots to till the soil and add copious amounts of manure. The work was made easier by the use of Mr. Langille's tiller, as the machine ate through sod to leave us with healthy (and hopefully fertile) soil.

Now that the beds are formed, there's just one more important thing to do... plant something! The next step is to plant seeds and transplants at three of the four gardens on Saturday June 13 at 9:30am , starting at the garden on the corner of Church and George.

In light of this project being a learning experience for many of us first-time gardeners, it's only appropriate to share some of the lessons learned.
Among the lessons learned:
1) The benefits of gardening do not extend to immunity from sunburn. Wear sunscreen.
2) It's okay to be knee-deep in sh!t, so long as you're gardening. (Your vegetables will thank you for it.)
4) Roto-tillers save many hours of (wo)manual labour. Try to make friends with people who own roto-tillers.
3) A long day is best finished drinking a cold beer with friends.

As for next Saturday, we'd love to see you out! Even if you've never joined the Landless Gardeners before, you're welcome to meet us at the corner of Church and George to dig in and get planting. We've got the equipment, just bring yourself.
